The following proclamation has been issued
by the President:
The goodness and the mercy of God
which have followed the American people
during all the days of the past year. claim
their recognition and humble acknowledg-
ment. By His omnipotent power He has
protected us from war and pestilence, and
from every national calamity; by His gra-
cious favor the earth has yielded generous
return to the labor Of the husbandman and
every path of honest toll has led to comfort
and contentment; by His loving kindness
the hearts of our people have been replen-
ished with fraternal sentiment and patriotic
endeavor, and by His unerring guidance we
have been directed in the way of national
prosperity.
To the end that we may, with one accord,
testify our gratitude for all these blessings,
|, Grover Cleveland, President of the United
States, do hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the twenty fourth day of Novem-
Der next, as day of thanksgiving and
prayer, to be observed by all the people of
the land. On that day let all secular work
people assemble in their accustomed places
of worship, and with prayer and songs of
praise give thanks to our Heavenly Father
for all that He has done for us, while we
humbly implore the forgiveness of our sins
and a continuance of His mercy.
Let families and kindred be reunited on that
day; and let their hearts. filled with kindly
cheer and affectionate reminiscence be turned
in thankfulness to the source Of all their pleas
ures and the Giver of all that makes the
day glad and joyous. And in the midst of
our worship and our happiness, let us re-
member the poor, the needy and the unfor-
tunate, and by our gifts of charity and ready,
benevolence let us increase the number of
those who, with grateful hearts, shall join in
our Thanksgiving
In witness whereof, 1 have set my hand,
and caused the seal of the United States to be
hereunto affixed.

CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE STATE.
tsNot Dtgested all the Laws Of the
State of Missouri"

To the editor of the Ledger.
CENTRALIA, Mo-, June 4, 81
Sir: We notice an article in the last
Sturgeon Leader credited to the In
telligencer of your city, wherein the
editor of the InteNigencer says in re-
gard to a deed acknowledged before
me for the adoption of minors by
deed of conveyance, THAT such
conveyance is unknown the law"
He calls it a "novel deed" and says
no doubt the party vas endeavoriDg
to bind, whereas neither the deed
referred to, or the statutes author
izing the same, even imply binding,
but adoption only. We respectfully
refer the mtelltgeneer to Vol. 1st r.
S. of Mo-, page Sc, sec. 500, and
also to session acts 1885, page 154
for a confirmation of the rights OF
those executing deed of conveyance
in the adoption of minors under the
present existing laws.
We simply, in a kind way, desire
to remind our friend of the InteRj-
gencer that it is possible thai. he has
not fully digested all Of the laws Of
Missouri. Your Ob'd't Servant,
p. S. Hooker.

Answer to CORRESPONDENT.

understandable State Board
of Agriculture, in April last, offered
the following corn premiums to Mis-
sour farmers: One hundred dollars
first premium; fifty dollars, second
premium and twenty-five dollars
third, for the three best yields of
corn. to which is added 800 by
Abel Leonard, of Saline county. The
prizes are offered in order to improve
the methods of corn raising in this
state, so that the number of bushels
per acre may be increased, as the
amount raised low does not justify
the farmer. The conditions are too
volumnious for publication, but can
be found in the weekly LEDGER of
April 7, 1887. To these premiums
the LEDGER adds $50 provided the
prize is captured by Audrain corn.
Various other prizes are offered by
Mexico merchants under the same
conditions.

The First Henry George Experiment
i'm America.

In 1494, when Christopher Colum-
bus landed on Cat Island, the whole
region we now know as the United
States vas inhabited by savages who
did a little in the way of hunting.
They hunted wild game and they
hunted each other. They were the
original Henry Geo-geites-at least
they had been putting the George
theories into practice for several
thousand years. They held their
land In m They did not
trouble themselves about ''unearned
lncrements," because they was no
increment of value, earned or unearn-
ed, to be considered. The land
was worth nothing. All the other
George theories were held by these
simple children of nature, and earned
nothing. They had even the boycott,
although they did not know it by
that name. When two savages of
different tribes or district assemblies
quarreled over a dead deer, they
struck work and fought it out to see
which was the "scab." 1t was gen.
orally, then as now, the dead one.
Then each tribe declared a boycott
against the other, and the struggle
ended in the humiliation of the en-
forced migration of the weaker dis
trict assembly. In fact, the George
idea was most thoroughly carried
out in every particular and the par
allel between the two civilizations
the Indian red civilization and the
anarchical red civilization-may he
called almost perfect. The affairs OF
of each tribe were managed by walk
ing delegates, called chiefs, and
then, as now, the women did
most of the work.

The method of regulating the
drink evil in Sweden and Norway is
a peculiar one. No intoxicant can
be sold except at a place where good
food, coffee and other non alcoholic
drinks are also kept constantly on
hand. The dealer is allowed to
make a profit on these, but be is
stringently prohibited from selling
any liquor except at cost. The idea
is that dealers will thus endesvor to
promote the sale of edibles and nom
intoxicating drinks, upon which he
does made a profit, and discourage
buyers from drinking liquors upon
which he makes none. We have no
information as TO the manner in which
a dealer is kept from aduiterating
and diluting liquor so as to actually
profit by its sale, but are inclined to
think there is a weak spot there in
the plan. It is called the "Gothen-
burg system from the town which 1t
was first put in operation.

THE FIpgL.ry swlNpLg.

Ii is difficult to Writ, much less
think eoelly of the Fidelity national
bank swindle- 1t is n misnemer to
speak Of its collapse as a failure, 1t
was simply cleaned out, Quilted, de
spoiled, by ITS principal officers.
Every days Developments since the
United States examiner took charge
only darken the record against its
vice-president, cashier and assistant
cashier. They Converted the bank
into a den of gamblers aud used
everything that it could beg, borrow
or steal TO invest in speculation. with
out taking any security for its return
or protecting the stockholders and
depositors in any way. What false
hoods. ~perjaries and oajoleries Vert
needed to carry on the swindie, they
perpetrated. And when they lost
what they had wagered, with iiabili-
ties running up to S6,00o,0oe, they
coolly explain that an inability to
completely control the Chicago wheat
market proved their ruin and caused
them to lose So, 600 900, which they
as gamblers stood to win.
There has never been IL more
shameless and d~isgracefu' collapse of
a speculative venture run on other
mems capital. No penalty which
the law can lnhict will be adequate
to punish Messrs. Harper, Baldwin
and Hopkins. Their offense is more
than mere robbery of stockholders
and ~depositors. 1t shakes public
confidence in the trustworthiness OF
better men. These scoundrels SEEM
ed honest, energetic, wise business
men. They were dishonest, tricky
gamblers. Such q disclosure tends
to make men suspicious Of all men.
1t shakes commercial faith, and caus-
es everybody to ask: Whom can we
